That struck the Hotline as an unusually large number of major exposures, so we reached out to the conference for context.

Dave Hirsch, vice president for communications, dug into the files — back to 2011, the first year of the Pac-12 — and determined the conference hasn’t experienced a weekend (Friday night and Saturday) with more than six games on the major networks.

There are 11 games Saturday, eight of them owned by the Pac-12 (i.e., home games).

Only two of the eight are on Fox or ESPN, which leaves six for the Pac-12 Networks, which does not have six broadcast windows available on Pac-12 National.

So two teams are regional-only broadcasts: North Texas at Cal and Cal Poly at Oregon State.

If you follow the Bears or Beavers and don’t live in the Bay Area or Oregon, respectively, then it might not be as simple as flipping on the big screen and scrolling the channel guide.

In that case, the best bet is the Pac-12 Now app, which is available on Apple TV, by the way.
